Matt represented me in a lawsuit that I brought against the merchant credit card company that I had a contract with at my salon. After filing the lawsuit we went to mediation and Matt convinced the defendant to pay a settlement. It was amazing how familiar he was with the whole process, and I ended up with a great result.

Mr. Pare helped me and my business in a federal lawsuit that was filed against my business. It involved a complicated area of the law, but Mr. Pare thoroughly researched it and did a great job! It was clear that he went out of his way to spend extra time on the matter, and was always very responsive and helpful.

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Thank you William!!! I was in a car accident back in August of last year and felt completely overwhelmed and helpless. I knew I was not at fault and didn't know where to start. I didn't have an attorney but found Deon from searching online and reading reviews. From our initial consultation I knew I was in good hands with William. Even though my case wasn't a huge one, he didn't hesitate at all to help me. He always made me feel taken care of, helped me find amazing doctors, responded quickly, kept me updated, communicated consistently, and was professional and respectful. I could not have been happier with how my case was handled and am very thankful for William and his hard work! I highly recommend this firm.

We called many attorneys and left messages. None called back. Mr. Capron took the time to listen and learn about the issue we were seeking help with. He was very helpful and knowledgeable to the needs of our situation. He listened attentively and provided guidance and support. My husband and I felt he was genuine and caring. He’s also very knowledgeable and timely. He followed through with everything he said he would do. I’m happy we found Mr. Capron and we will use him for further assistance if needed. I’d give him 10 stars if that were an option.

My experience with this law firm not positive. My case was passed along between several attorneys. The attorneys were forwarding conflicting information to me and they weren't up to date on the progress of the case in multiple occasions. I don't feel the attorneys actually did their job sufficiently in handling my case. Everything they have done, I could have simply done myself. I deeply regret consulting with this lawfirm.

A man had stopped and asked me for help about finding this business. I’m pretty proficient. So, I sad yes, I would help. Couldn’t find the business. Did a deeper dive. The business is under a lawyer’s name. Not “Car Crash Counselors “! The man I was trying to help was very frustrated. I could see why.

I have worked with both Marisa and Sara who are great advocates, are very knowledgeable, but are also very focused on coming up with reasonable and practical solutions to help the divorce move forward in a good way. They are a great option if you want to get right to tackling your divorce and then moving forward with the life that comes next. Don't hesitate to put your trust in them.

So happy that I found Benjamin Green. I am the executor of the estate for a relative in Chula Vista who passed away. Living in Arizona, I wanted a local attorney in CV to work with regarding the estate. Mr. Green handled everything so timely. Communication was great throughout. Mr. Green also referred me to a local realtor who was excellent and familiar with selling probate properties.

I have had the privilege of working with Octavio Cardona (Vito) at Golden & Cardona-Loya LLP for over eight years on various consumer rights cases, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Octavio is exceptionally communicative, ensuring I am well-informed and comfortable at every stage. His commitment to protecting my rights as a consumer has consistently been evident, with his expertise making a significant difference in every case. Octavio is a lawyer I truly trust. His ability to demystify complex legal jargon, making it easier to make informed decisions, is just one of the many reasons. His professionalism and thorough approach have always left me feeling confident and well-represented. The firm itself is fantastic, offering great support and resources that enhance their client service. I highly recommend Octavio and Golden & Cardona-Loya LLP to anyone needing assistance with consumer rights issues. Whether it’s for personal matters or referring family and friends, you can trust Octavio and his firm to provide top-notch legal support. I look forward to continuing to work with him for any future assistance.

I am a top reviewer on Google maps. I think some of the negative reviews are from people who lost their cases to Binh Bui, so they take revenge by posting negative reviews. Attorney Bui is excellent. In 5 mins he outlined strategies for me to sue a real estate company in California instead of Nevada. He also cleverly suggested that my daughter file a second lawsuit as she too has a legitimate grievance as well against the real estate company. I originally had a large law firm advise me. I seek a second opinion and was referred to Mr. Bui ,whose advice was far better and faster that the other lawyers' advice!!

Heather passed away Sept 2015. They both were working on my sell at the time. Understandably, Shirley was devastated. I had to scramble on my own really quickly, but I dont hold that against her. She'd just lost her only child to an undetected illness. I will hire Shirley again in the future. Heather was a very professional real estate agent and I'm sorry I can't hire her again. Shirley was attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. I felt well taken care of.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

  • Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
  • Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
  • Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
  • Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

  • Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
  • Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
  • Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
  • Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
  • Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
  • Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
  • Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
  • Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
  • Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

  • The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
  • Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
  • Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
  • Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer

Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
    Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy.
  6. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
  • Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
  • Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

  • A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
  • Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
  • A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
  • Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
  • Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
